E-Government development has been driven
since 1994(B.E. 2537) by the Sub-Committee of Promotion of
Utilization of Information Technology in Public Organization
which is under the National Information Technology Committee
(NITC). Several measures have been imposed to support and
promote this initiative such as computer training for mid-level
officers (Classification : C5-6), specifying minimum requirements
of IT equipments for government agencies, CIOs' appointment
in public sector, conducting IT Master Plan of ministries,
departments & provinces, etc.
The then e-Thailand initiative resulted from e-ASEAN initiative
has driven NITC to appoint a sub-committee for e-Thailand
development of which e-Government is one of the key development
areas*. Consequently Thailand e-Government project has been
set up under the UPU agenda with final approval of NITC chaired
by the Prime Minister. The project important mandate is to
coordinate and facilitate public organization in rendering
Good

one stop service, Rapid Response, Rural Coverage, and Round-the-clock

e-Society, e-Commerce Facilitation, Information Infrastructure
and Liberalization
Goals of the e-Government Project in
two years time are to coordinate and facilitate the implementation
of Pilot Projects on various public services and to
set up standards, guidelines, and manuals for interoperability
